Format Changes
The 2026 Laois S.F.C will be the final year of the 16 team championship format, with over the course of 2 years being reduced to a 14-team tournament in 2027 to a 12-team tournament in 2028 and beyond.
The championship starts with round 1, seeded with the 8 teams that were in last years quarter-finals against the other 8 teams as well as the 2025 I.F.C Champions. The winners in Round 1 head to Round 2A while the losers play in Round 2B. The four winners in Round 2A qualify for the quarter-finals while the four losers in play against the four winners of Round 2B in Round 3. The losers of Round 2B are demoted to the Senior 'B' Championship. The Round 3 winners qualify for the quarter-finals while the losers will play against the Round 2B losers in the Senior 'B' Quarter-finals.
The four losers of the Senior 'B' Quarter-finals play in the relegation semi-finals. The losers of the relegation semi-finals are relegated to the 2027 Laois I.F.C Championship. The Relegation final consists of the two relegation semi-final winners who will play each other for the right to stay in the senior grade.
With 3 teams relegated this year, along with the 2026 Laois I.F.C champions being promoted, the 2027 Laois S.F.C will consist of 14 teams,
